THE PROBLEM
While Indonesia’s electrification ratio stood at 88 percent last year according to PLN- Indonesia's state-owned electricity supplier - power remains limited and often does not reach the most remote regions of the country. People living in the last mile often lack access to the PLN supply and rely on alternative lighting solutions, such as kerosene lamps which can be dangerous as they emit toxic smoke and increase the risk of fire.
THE SOLUTION
Through this initiative, Kopernik will assist in the distribution of 1,200 Philips solar home systems and solar energy-based road lights in North Sumatra, East Bali, Central Kalimantan and Maluku. Kopernik works towards lighting up last mile unelectrified villages through safer, affordable and cleaner alternative solutions.

Local communities receive solar lamp technology
Local communities, government officials, Philips and Kopernik gather for technology distribution and training
More light, More productivity, small kiosks being able to have longer operating hours

THE EXPECTED IMPACT
Through the distribution of cleaner, cost-saving and risk-reducing alternative energy to last mile communities, Kopernik anticipates improved productivity through longer studying and business hours, and safer environments.
